I got a DNA test through ancestry.com. I got the more expensive one thinking it would be "better" but actually it narrows down the possibility of a match so it isn't better. Also, it does not provide any information about where in the world your ancestors might have come from (like the National Geographic project) - so basically it hasn't done any good at all. Forest

I had my female mtDNA testing done through Family Tree DNA based in Houston. I had the full genome sequence testing done which gave me HVR1, HVR2, and nine mutations in the control region which put me in haplogroup H1a1 with matches of a Anglo-Saxon - Jute migration pattern. This is the most a female can do. My Mother's Lewis line and my Father's Dillow line has been tested in surname projects at FTDNA. They are considered to be the best anywhere. Their staff is very personable and always answers any questions one might have and I personally think they are great. If you have a match after permission is given they can hook you up with any matches where you can correspond with your matches if you wish and you can share pedigrees. Hope this helps. :) Marianne Dillow --- On Wed, 11/12/08, Joel Blass <jocath68@yahoo.com> wrote: > From: Joel Blass <jocath68@yahoo.com> > Subject: [MDSTMARY] DNA > To: mdstmary@rootsweb.com > Date: Wednesday, November 12, 2008, 10:34 AM > I wanted to ask the advice of the Maryland site about DNA > testing.

Do your on-line research. Make sure your medical history will not be sold or disclosed and that your identity will be protected by tying only a number to the kit. Consider using as many ways as possible to keep your true name,address or personal info out of the process. Ie -ship to/from another relative's home, P.O.

Once this info is released there is no "un-doing it". -----Original Message----- From: Joel Blass <jocath68@yahoo.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2008 10:34 AM To: mdstmary@rootsweb.com Subject: [MDSTMARY] DNA I wanted to ask the advice of the Maryland site about DNA testing.

This won't work either. If we are talking about same Francis GREENE whose will is below Maryland Calendar of Wills: Volume 3 VOLUME III. Greene, Francis,Chas. Co., 16th Sept., 1706; 7th May, 1707. To son Leonard and hrs., 100 A. bought from Leonard Brooke, part of 800 A., Green's Inheritance, lying between main road of Piscataway to brother Robert Greene's Rowling Road, etc. To son Francis, all testator's land on The Old Woman's Branch. To son Giles and hrs., all land between that of sons Leonard and Francis. To dau. Claire, personalty. Residue of personalty to child. afsd., wife's portion being reserved. Exs.: Wife Elizabeth and son Leonard. Test: Will. Chandler, Thos. Nation, John Cament. 12. 132. Then his wife Elizabeth ? is not a prospect either for wife of Alexander HAMILTON. I don't know who Francis GREENE son of Francis GREENE and Elizabeth ? married. Alexander Hamilton b. 1675 married 1708 Pr George Co MD to Elizabeth (Shercliffe) Green, the young widow of Francis Green (b abt 1664 -1707) Elizabeth was b. 1674 and d 1753, a daughter of William Shercliff and Mildred Thompson who married 2nd a Wheeler. Elizabeth is listed in her father Williams will as Elizabeth Shercliff Green the widow of Francis now the wife of Alexander Hamilton.

Is there further information as to what happened to Elizabeth ? wife of Francis GREENE? When did Alexander HAMILTON die? And did he leave a will? Maryland Calendar of Wills: Volume 3 VOLUME III. Greene, Francis,Chas. Co., 16th Sept., 1706; 7th May, 1707. To son Leonard and hrs., 100 A. bought from Leonard Brooke, part of 800 A., Green's Inheritance, lying between main road of Piscataway to brother Robert Greene's Rowling Road, etc. To son Francis, all testator's land on The Old Woman's Branch. To son Giles and hrs., all land between that of sons Leonard and Francis. To dau. Claire, personalty. Residue of personalty to child. afsd., wife's portion being reserved. Exs.: Wife Elizabeth and son Leonard. Test: Will. Chandler, Thos. Nation, John Cament. 12. 132.

Dottie, This statement might be partially true. It's possible Elizabeth ? wife of Francis GREENE, may also have married Alexander HAMILTON. But forget the possibility she was an Elizabeth SHERCLIFFE daughter of William Shercliff and Mildred Thompson, because that did not happen. Most of these books you are using as your source are full of errors.

I certainly apologize for causing any problem with the Alexander Hamilton's marriage to Elizabeth Z. Shercliff Green which IT SHOULD ACTUALLY BE ELIZABETH SHERCLIFF. The problem all boils down to the fact that the Book IMPRINTS BY MARY LOUISE DONNELLY. She wrote a nice book, but as many people have been saying, there is good information but she did make a lot of mistakes, and with all the duplicate names and similar names, I can see why it is easy. Thus the IMPRINTS book on pg 9 paragraph 8 does say the following which IS WRONG. Briefly it says Alexander Hamilton m. 1708 Elizabeth Zacharia Green the daughter of Robert Green and Mary Boarman. It does go on to say that Elizabeth Zacharia Green had m/1 Andrews Sumpson and had 2 sons Andrew and Geroge. So after Mary Moller was kind enough to send the email below, I am asking myself, how are my records wrong. So I pulled out the book Genealogy of Benjamin Thomas Hamilton by Anna L. Hamilton. I found on page 7, which I will type below, I was going to attach the page but remembered we cannot have attachments, so if anyone wants a copy of the page email me and I will send it to you. Page 7 for Genealogy of Benjamin Thomas Hamilton by Anna L. Hamilton (short version) Alexander Hamilton b. 1675 married 1708 Pr George Co MD to Elizabeth (Shercliffe) Green, the young widow of Francis Green (b abt 1664 -1707) Elizabeth was b. 1674 and d 1753, a daughter of William Shercliff and Mildred Thompson who married 2nd a Wheeler. Elizabeth is listed in her father Williams will as Elizabeth Shercliff Green the widow of Francis now the wife of Alexander Hamilton. In addition, when I was backtracking and checking, I actually found in my notes that in 2005, I actually had her married to Francis Green and then to Alexander Hamilton and dau of William Shercliffe, but my notes said that I was advised that I was wrong by someone on line, and was told that Alexander Hamilton had m. Elizabeth Zacharia Shercliffe Green...............do I need to say any more? I am sure that genealogist thought he or she was right, especially if the records were found in the IMPRINTS book. Thanks Mary Moller for sending the email showing that my records were wrong. It sure is hard when one source says one thing and you think it has been researched...........but the IMPORTANT thing is have the data right. Thanks everyone always for all your help on this list, it is certainly a great Group to work with.

This is what I had also. That Elizabeth GREEN married Andrew Sympson. And Elizabeth Shercliffe daughter William Shercliffe and Mildred Thompson is not a very likely prospect either, I think what Linda Reno has on her is correct, that she married Frances Spink and William Bradburn. So I would say Elizabeth ? of uncertain Parentage married Alexander HAMILTON. -----Original Message----- From: mdstmary-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:mdstmary-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of SHIRLEY MOLLER Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 2:10 PM To: mdstmary@rootsweb.com; Linda Reno Subject: Re: [MDSTMARY] Hamilton Alexander and Elizabeth Shercliffe?

Washington County Ky Archives Biographies..... Hamilton, Richard December 29, 1811 - February 20, 1883 Author: Kentucky Genealogy and Biography Volume V, Battle-Perrin-Kniffin, 4th Edition RICHARD HAMILTON (deceased), son of Alexander and Harriett (Edelen) Hamilton, was born in Washington County, Ky., December 29, 1811. His grandfather, Thomas Hamilton, was a native of Maryland, and one of the earliest pioneers of Washington County. He settled about five and one-half miles northwest of Springfield and was a resident of his adopted county until his death, which occurred many years ago. Alexander Hamilton was born in Maryland, but was brought to Kentucky when a small boy, and passed the remainder of his life in Washington County. He was a successful farmer, accumulated a large estate, and died in 1878 at the advanced age of ninety-one years. His wife, Harriet Hamilton, was born in Kentucky and died a number of years ago. She was the mother of six children, only one of whom is now living, Thomas G. Hamilton. Richard Hamilton was reared a farmer, and received a good education in the county schools and St. Mary's College. He began life as a teacher, which profession he followed a short time near Fredericktown, and later was elected magistrate, which position he held for several years. He was deputy sheriff under his father for some time, and later was elected sheriff. He acquired the reputation of being one of the most skillful business men in the county, and his services were constantly in demand, settling estates, etc. He engaged in farming in 1869 near Fredericktown village, which vocation he followed until his death, February 20, 1883. He was married August 1, 1876, to Mrs. Sallie J Thompson, widow of John C. Thompson, and daughter of Stith and Catherine (McIlvey) Thompson, by whom he had three children: A. Richard, Mary S. and S. Thomas. Mrs. Sallie J. Hamiltoin was born August 14, 1841, and is the fourth of a family of seven children. Her father, Stith Thompson, was the son of John Thompson. He was born November 5, 1805, and is still living in Washington, his native county. Catherine (McIlvoy) Thompson, daughter of Alexander and Magdalen McIlvoy, was born in Ireland on the 15th of August, 1811. Her parents came to America in 1818, and settled near the village of Mackville, Washington County, where the father died in 1863, at the age of ninety-three years. The mother died in 1846. The children of Stith and Catherine Thompson were the following: Alexander, William R., John M., Sallie J., Maggie, Rosa, and Daniel M. Thompson. Sallie J. Thompson was married February 10, 1867, to John C. Thompson, by whom she had three children, namely: Peter J., Simeon A. and John C., all living. John C. Thompson, Sr., son of Thomas and Susan (Blanford) Thompson, was born in Washington County on the 25th of March, 1825. He was a farmer by occupation, a successful trader, and resided nearly all his life near the village of Fredricktown. He was twice married, the first time on the 22d of October, 1861, to Miss Maggie Thompson, by whom he had two children: Alexander and Thomas. Mrs. Maggie Thompson died April 19, 1866, aged twenty-two years. His second marriage to Sallie J. Thompson, sister of former wife, has already been alluded to.

Hello Linda Reno Re your email below, you asked does anyone have documentation to prove that it was Elizabeth Shercliffe who m. Alexander Hamilton. First, are you talking about the Alexander Hamilton b 1682-1731 ..........if so he married Elizabeth Shercliffe Green daughter of Robert Green and Mary Boarman and did not marry Elizabeth Shercliffe, I believe these are two different women. So are you talking about the Elizabeth Shercliffe d/o William Shercliffe who d 1707 .......then she could have married 1) Francis Spink 2) William Bradburn. Sorry I do not have any data on the Elizabeth Shercliffe do William I can not swear that I am 100% correct, but according to my records, I think this is right. Maybe others can add to this.
